- Kogi Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan confronted Senator Titus Zam after a committee meeting at the National Assembly
- The arguments escalated, leading to an alleged assault by Natasha's aide and intervention from security operatives
- Public reactions vary, with criticisms and defence emerging over Natasha's controversial behaviour in the Senate
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, has been engaged in another dramatic confrontation with another colleague at the National Assembly. She visited the office of Titus Zam, the senator representing Benue North-West, the chairman of the Senate Committee on the North Central Development Commission (NCDC).
Sources privy to the development at the national assembly disclosed that the incident came after the budget defence of the committee, which happened earlier in the day. The meeting was scheduled for 10 am, but had ended before the arrival of the Kogi senator.

According to The Punch, Senator Natasha found out that the session had concluded when she arrived at the venue, but reportedly proceeded to the office of the committee chairman to seek clarification in the company of her legislative aides.
Eyewitnesses explained that the tension rose when Natasha was denied access to the office, which led to the heated argument involving members of staff and individuals in the Kogi senator's entourage. During the argument, an aide to the senator was alleged to have assaulted a staff member in the committee chairman's office, leading to the intervention of a security operative.
The situation came under control after the intervention of security operatives at the National Assembly, while details surrounding the altercation's immediate trigger were yet to be cleared.
Nigerians react as Natasha confronts another senator
Nigerians have started reacting to the video of the incident. Below are some of their reactions:
Akorede faults Natasha:
"Why always this woman? She keeps fighting everybody as if she’s the only person or the only woman in the Senate. Kogi people should do better this coming election because I can’t imagine this shameless person representing a whole district."

"But the video shows Senator Natasha sitting most of the time...but because of already established hate against her, some are already rushing to hit their phone pads."
Cee&See1stNews faulted the Kogi senator:
